Why go?

Unmask the city’s fascinating face when you check in at a hotel in Newport...

A key port since the medieval period, it’s little wonder that Newport has grown and flourished with industrial changes, from exporting coal by the shipload to becoming a centre of manufacturing and engineering excellence.

But these facts are only part of Newport's story, and the city's attractions, combined with the surrounding Gwent and nearby Monmouthshire countryside, make this a pleasant place to stay for a while.

Located on the River Usk near the Severn Estuary, Newport is a city of bridges and has many buildings of architectural note. Stay in Newport hotels to explore the streets, views and nightlife of the city and to see a side of Wales away from big draws such as Cardiff, Snowdonia and the Pembrokeshire Coast.

It’s easy to find a good-value Newport hotel when you use the search tool on TravelSupermarket. We compare hotel prices so that you don’t have to.

Whether you’re after cheap hotels in Newport or a luxury stay in the countryside, booking as far in advance of travel as possible will secure the best rates.

Where to stay?

Where you stay in Newport really depends on what you like to do during your holiday...

Celtic Manor Resort is one of the stand-out hotels in Newport, nestled nearby in the beautiful Usk Valley. The luxury hotel and golf course was home to the Ryder Cup in 2010. If you're hooked on golf (or you're a golf widow who is into divine spa treatments), this is an excellent place to stay.

Several well-known brands can also be found in the Newport area such as Premier Inn, Travelodge, Hilton, Holiday Inn Express and Ibis.

If Roman history is high on your holiday agenda, you might prefer to stay in the village of Caerleon, just to the north of Newport. It’s the site of Roman fortress Isca Augusta, plus a fort and two Roman museums.
